Yeah, words have meaning to the person saying them, but aren’t guaranteed to have the same for the receiver.

Its why we try so hard to share a reality and define things.
And we have faith that we are on the same side of understanding.
Its also why the world is fucked up right now, no faith, we need to know, and we quiz and push to narrow our world to just those we can be sure of.

Do you really think its worth it to only talk to yourself? Or do you figure out how to share how you feel and what you see in the world with others?

Yup, what other person said, heat pump dryers.

They use the insides of the dryer as the closed loop of heating and cooling. Heating air through clothes to get moisture then cooling it on the other side to condense it. Generates water but doesnt have a vent.
Neat use of the tech.

I mean literally the same machine as a rock grinder, generated heat and tumbling items smacking into each other.

But like they are soft. And if you don’t use as much heat it is even gentler, which is why the driers that act as a dehumidifier without heat are even better better.

I just got The Coup - Genocide and Juice
whole album and have been enjoying the heck out of it even if I still can’t find Sorry To Bother You physically.

Otherwise I “discovered” Ghost: The Future is a Foreign Land has been hurting me in a nice way.

That feels like that weird issue that Melinda Gates has of not being able to spend her profits from her stocks fast enough.
Money just begets more money.

You know if you have it or not these days.

Store those sins away for a rainy day.

HR was supposed to provide the Visa as I was going for a ship transfer and the political rallies and the north korea missile definitely didnt help but I did get to see fireworks on a beach after a night of crepe cakes and BBQ.
I actually was the reason the company implemented a system where a person was hired to check all visas manually from then on.

The main trouble was the HR Manager tried to dock my pay for the cost of hotels and flights and tried to get me fired for saying no and I threatened to sue. Had to meet with the captain who thought the whole story was very funny including me staying at his standard hotel room at a very nice hotel in the bahamas.

I just want to know what its like to go terminal velocity and see if my luck is bad enough that I miss the ground. But knife and skydiving is my plan for how.

Oh not retiring. Just the sun blowing up.

I am both jealous of and horrified by your brain.

This is so insane and yet true.

Oh for sure just trying to be helpful.

The new popular trend is bunkers underground with staff in shock collars, best of luck with their assassination attempts.

Nah, thats just statistics.

It only gets to not rise the next day once and those are pretty good odds if you put that over top of all the other days it has already. I already don’t win when the odds are 1 in 4, I’m not getting that lucky.

No my point is that your gonna need everyone else to not be stupid too.
All it takes is someone else in your ivory tower starting an apartment fire and that they didnt design fire exits or suppression strategies cause it would impact the look of it.
No one does anything alone in this world. The rest of our stupidity rubs off eventually on your life.

Retirement math would be pretty dreary if you have to pay rent.

lOl. The worth of my assets and all my accounts is about $13,000 and that includes my 401k and I have been working for more than a decade and rent.

I’m a weirdo but also I know that I’m also completely average for level of fucked.

Dude we have shockingly similar overarching stories but my HR manager firing was for costing the company I work for 10s of thousands of dollars for not having the right visa to work in china and getting stuck in south korea for weeks due to the easter holiday making it so they forgot where they left me until I got ahold of someone again.

My retirement plan is skydiving.

as long as I

Oof, and everyone else too it seems.

That’s fair, me too.

Sure.

I think they would certainly try if they could pay for the exclusivity.

Just got to bring back Tithes.

Ah right, sorry for the mixup then

Not exactly cheapest but I have been an absolute fan of Gallium charging bricks. They can do much higher wattage in a smaller size and with a long USB C cable and 4 ports actually replaces a laptop charger, phone charger, and more.

And specifically Anker makes a 65w charger that also doubles as a battery bank for about $80 that means I can charge everything from just that one and then take it with me and use it as a battery and plug I to the wall to recharge itself and my devices again.
